Time for a new tennis bag!

hpaiste

Rookie
I have owned a Wilson Super Six for about the last 2-1/2 years. It has really started tearing up in several places, and I think now it's time to replace my baby. I have always used a Wilson tennis bag, and I love them, but the Babolat Racquet bags are really getting my attention. And the newer Wilson BLX bags seem to have pretty poor materials and high price tags. I have come down to two:

1.) http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Babolat_Team_Line_Tennis_Bags_BlackRed/descpageBGBAB-B709R12.html

2.) http://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Wil...Six_Pack_Bag/descpageBGWILSON-BLXTBAGFED.html

Could I please have your opinion? Please?
 
unless you must have a red bag, i'd rather have the aero bag compared to either of those.

I play with the APD (four of them actually), but I really need the space for everything. I would buy the yellow bag, however I am a huge Federer fan and walking around with Rafa's signature everywhere.... not happening.
 
I have an AeroPro 6 pack bag. Freakin amazing! Has a hard shell to keep the bag's shape, with premium materials for best durability! I mean, I drag my bag all around the hard court, and not a single tear yet (surprisingly).

Anyways, I would rather have you stay away from Wilson and Nike (yes, NIKE) bags. Their materials are very cheap and flimsy, so they will shred up quickly. Also, Nike bags have very little padding on their bags (I had a Nike 6 pack bag, and it reminded me of a reshaped duffel bag!).

Now are AeroPro bags and the Babolat team bags the same or different? Because like I said I'd need the bigger bag, but not the Rafa signature... :-|
 
I have a Nike bag and it's fine, quite nice actually. There's not a ton of padding but it works fine fo' me.

They are different but mainly due to the thermo-guard in the Aero series. I have to leave my racquets in the car a lot due to playing matches and having practice right after work so I like the extra insurance of knowing something is protecting them from the heat/cold.

completely different. the babolat has a hard protective shell unlike the flimsy team bag. the 9 pack does not have rafa's sig and it still pretty large.
 
Why thanks everyone! I think I'll be going with the Rafa bag. After looking at it again, it's not like Rog's signature where its plastered all over it, it's just a little pen mark on the bottom :) thanks everyone!
 
The Babolat 9 pack is a nice size. Lots of room & a little smaller than the 12.

The best of the best. Plenty big...and they fit in the overhead bin (unless you stuff it full). Not that I fly a lot anymore, but that might be a selling point for you guys who travel to play tournaments.
 
I'm a huge fan of Fed, but I would never get a bag or a racquet with someone's signature or name on it, unless it's mine. (Other than the manufacturer's name of course, Wilson, Head, etc.)
 
The Aero bags are good cuz your racquets are yellow, and I don't think the bags have Nadal's sig on it. Otherwise get the babolat one but in black
 
As fellow Fed fan, I highly recommend the Fed signature bag. Very durable & lots of space/pockets.

Really? Thats weird because I was in Florida quite a bit this summer for a tennis camp and several tournaments, and some of the kids there had the Federer bags and they were pretty flimsy and didn't really retain their shape...
 
^The mostly white and crimson one from a couple of yrs ago is solid, according to my friend who plays every day.
The new one in the stores doesn't look as cool and it's lighter, thinner and weaker.

The AeroPro bag has Rafa's signature on it? never knew that.
 
I'm rethinking my options. The Aero Bags are SO big, and it's just not my thing. I'm kind of thinking about the Federer bag again. Does anybody else have past experiences with this bag? Other than FedHammer that is :)

I used it for a while. It was not large enough for me. I put a lot of stuff in my bag.3 racquets, A # of tubes of balls, tennis clothes, towel, the usual items to take a shower (towel, soap, deoderant, etc) a couple bottles of water, shoes, hat,sunglasses, etc etc, that is why bigger is better for me. To each their own.I ended up breaking the zipper on the Fed. bag, as I ended up over stuffing it.If you only carry so much, its a good bag.
